Robert Shearman is probably best known as a writer for Doctor Who where he reintroduced the Daleks in the show’s BAFTA winning first series in an episode nominated for a Hugo Award. But he has long worked as a writer for radio, television, and the stage. His first collection of short stories, Tiny Deaths, won the World Fantasy Award. The follow-up, Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical, won the Shirley Jackson Award, the British Fantasy Award, and the Edge Hill Reader’s Prize. A third collection, Everyone’s Just So So Special, was published by Big Finish in July 2011.
